On the anniversary of his assassination, the pro-Iranian channel Al-Mayadeen published the "last photo" of Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah from the terror organization's headquarters in Lebanon.
The photo shows Nasrallah sitting in a meeting room with maps of Israel and the Middle East spread on the wall. The image also features Muhammad Khair al-Din, who served as Nasrallah's office secretary and was killed alongside him. The photo was apparently taken just hours before the Israeli Air Force struck the terrorist organization's leader in the underground bunker in Beirut's Dahiyeh. This was Operation New Order, which severely damaged Hezbollah and left a leadership vacuum that remains unfilled.
Hezbollah's commemoration ceremonies began at midday. Masses of terror movement activists arrived at a square in the Beirut area. Ali Larijani, Chairman of Iran's National Security Council, also attended the ceremonies. Current Secretary General Naim Qassem will later deliver a speech. Simultaneously, Yemen's Houthis leader and senior Iranian axis figure Abd al-Malik al-Houthi will make his own statement marking the anniversary of Nasrallah's assassination.
"Source of pride for the Muslim world"
Iranian senior official Larijani, who is visiting Lebanon, declared: "Hassan Nasrallah's warnings in recent years became clear to everyone with the Zionist entity's attack on Gaza. It shows no mercy to any country. Hezbollah was born from the heart of the Lebanese people and is a source of pride for the Muslim world." Hezbollah, it should be noted, was established under Iranian supervision.
IDF Spokesman in Arabic Avichay Adraee seized the opportunity to mock Hezbollah: "From the spider's web to 'what comes after Haifa,' through the 'divine victory' to denying his personal responsibility for killing Mustafa Badr al-Din, Nasrallah always declared, delivered speeches and threatened, claiming he was 'on his way to Jerusalem.' But his end was a miserable fate!"
Lebanese President Joseph Aoun addressed Nasrallah's death on September 27 last year. A statement from his office emphasized: "May the commemoration of the assassination of Hezbollah's former secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah, and Hashem Safieddine [his successor], be an opportunity to renew our commitment to defending our homeland's victims, regardless of their affiliation. Loyalty to these victims will be achieved only through unity of ranks and position, and by uniting everyone behind a project of one state, strong and just."
The Lebanese president noted that threats to his country still exist and emphasized they can only be addressed "through national solidarity, overcoming division, and based on the principle that there is no real defense outside the framework of the Lebanese state." According to him, "The Lebanese state alone has legitimacy and is the only entity that can ensure security and stability for all citizens without discrimination." This continues Aoun's public position supporting the concentration of weapons in the hands of the Lebanese state, and dismantling all organizations and militias, including Hezbollah.
